I don't think it's as far fetched as you think. If Sonnen can kick Silva's ass for 4 1/2 rounds I'm sure Jones is capable. Will he? No clue, but he's the toughest challenge left for Silva although I'd love to see a Wiedman fight first.

How do you think he handles Johnny? He seems like a horrible matchup for GSP. GSP jabbed the shit out of Koschek and kept his distance, I think he probably does the same thing against Johnny, but Koschek brought nothing on his feet like that Hendrix left.

That's why I love GSP. He's so versatile that he negates his opponents strengths in every fight.

Johny closes distance better while being less versatile(has less tools) than Kos in regards to striking.

Johny's got better power as well. Being a southpaw helps too.

The problem with Johny is how he closes the distance. He swings wildly and leaves himself wide open for a double.

For Johny to win this fight, he'd be best served spamming TDs, trying to utilize clinch work when possible against the cage (especially to the body), and most importantly, working on landing his Straight Left as a counter to GSP's ILK.

I'd be drilling that(^^^) over and over again if I were Hendricks. That, and work on getting off my back/creating scrambles.

I actually think that Johny's wild swings have a higher percentage of landing big (with power) on GSP than traditional techniques due to the angles (They're pretty ****ing awkward and nobody GSP's fought/sparred in over 10 years throws punches like that. He's going to have to spar with some n00bs to get used to it ).

It won't matter though if GSP times a nice blast double when Hendricks throws a lead hook and nearly does a 180.
